Oh the fun that cyber criminals can have in this brave new world, every device a new tool! Eventually the smart appliances may realize crime can pay, then in a word... we are truly, screwed!
At this point where money becomes worthless, what will motivate people to do things? Very few people seem self-motivated, most just want the paycheck so they can buy the things they want / need. The job is merely tolerated to get the money, and the quality of work adequate enough to not get fired.
When the effort is removed and fulfillment instant we become just like some of the less disciplined child celebs or ultra rich; utterly selfish, self-centered, lazy, and unbearable to live with. Many of these people lead to self-destructive ends. Perhaps we are meant to work for things in life, perhaps it's not the result, but the process.
I'm not sure I understand what you are asking, but the point of my comment was to make the observation that in my opinion as a parent, some children are introduced and hooked on digital devices far sooner than they are ready for. This is not a good thing.
All one has to do is look around at this upcoming generation to see kids addicted to phones like crack - cutting themselves off from real face to face interactions, physical exercise, and learning social skills. A child raised at a greater distance from technology is not less likely to accidentally click on an in-app purchase in all cases, but it's the thought that teaching them from toddler-hood that the go to entertainment and escape from the world is found in phones and tablets is not going help them or the parents.
I am not saying never let them see or use tech, but to slowly and responsibly introduce them to it. In the past the TV was the go to "babysitter", now it's joined by the mobile device. The more addicted to this form of entertainment, the more time and opportunity they will have to be duped into in-app purchases.
Given it's Microsoft, all of our DNA source code will become, proprietary. Shortly after this there will be a GNU licensed version released that's several versions behind and less user friendly.
They see that traditional computing devices are on the decline. They are changing with the times and positioning themselves to ride the wave of smaller devices and emerging technologies.
Everyone thought Netscape was king of the hill. Mind you, that was a very different situation, but it shows that any platform that is on top can fall, and underdogs just may take the fallen crown.

I didn't think Trump supporters were smart enough to know of or use Second Life!

Somebody still has to man the tech-support center when the shiny assistants fail... oh, wait they were out sourced by the talk-bots.

Quiet. :)
I picture the humans in Wall-e.... is that empowering or democratizing? It's... more like enslaving, turning humans into the lowest form of sheep.

Such a shame too... so many LOL cat videos lost forever...
I for one, look forward to our new DNA copying overlords!
I'd be worried about the "99% complete" that never finishes...
The encoding / decoding process does have built-in error correction. Use ECC memory!
Just make sure you schedule your virus scans while you are sleeping!
Otherwise, I see many many bad things happen...
Just put the code on bit torrent, there will be millions of copies in less than a day!
Just use hash tags...

The problem is... where do you put that huge heat-sink and fan for the Extreme editions of the new Intel Moble Core i9 CPU on your new smartphone?
